Efficiently convert HTML to Markdown format with support for multiple custom style configurations.
Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
This converter maps a pasted HTML fragment into Markdown text that you can edit. It recognizes headings, paragraphs, bold and italic emphasis, links, images, inline code and preformatted code, blockquotes, horizontal rules, line breaks, and basic list items. For example, an <h2> heading becomes a two-hash heading, and a link keeps its label and destination in Markdown link syntax.
Markdown is a plain-text way to mark document structure with characters such as #, asterisks, and hyphens. The CommonMark reference illustrates common Markdown syntax including headings, emphasis, links, images, lists, quotes, and code. This converter applies its own limited HTML-to-text mappings; it does not claim support for every Markdown dialect or every HTML element.
HTML can express presentation, layout, attributes, and deeply nested structures that ordinary Markdown cannot preserve. This tool focuses on the readable content and common semantic tags. Unknown tags are removed while their text generally remains. CSS styling and page layout are not recreated, and there is no web-page URL or file-upload workflow in this converter.
Lists need special review: both unordered and ordered list items become hyphen bullets, so numbering from an ordered list is lost. Nested lists and complex markup may flatten. Tables and platform-specific extensions such as GitHub Flavored Markdown tables should not be assumed to convert into a full-fidelity structure.
Inline code and preformatted code blocks use Markdown code notation. Links and image references carry their source address into the output, but conversion does not fetch remote resources or verify that a link still works. Entities including common nonbreaking-space, angle-bracket, ampersand, quotation-mark, and apostrophe forms are decoded; less common entity spellings may not be.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
Start with the body content you want to keep, such as a section with headings, paragraphs, and a short list. The input is markup text, not a page address or uploaded document.
Check headings, emphasis, paragraph breaks, code fences, and list markers. Confirm that text from wrappers or unfamiliar tags remains in a sensible order.
Review link targets and image source addresses in the Markdown. The converter preserves references; it does not retrieve images or test destinations.
Copy the generated text for editing, or download it as a Markdown file. Open it in the destination editor and inspect rendering before publishing.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
Paste a short article section from an HTML field to carry over its headings, emphasis, links, and paragraphs into a Markdown draft.
Convert a small documentation fragment, then check code formatting and links in the Markdown editor used by the project.
Turn basic list items into editable bullets when preserving the original numbering is not required.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
No. List items are emitted as hyphen bullets, so the original ordered-list numbering is not retained. Re-number the Markdown by hand if sequence matters.
Do not rely on full table or nested-list preservation. The converter supports a limited set of structures, and complex nesting may be flattened or lose layout.
No. Paste the HTML markup itself into the input. The tool does not fetch a URL or provide a file-upload conversion flow.
Unrecognized tags are removed, although their text generally remains. Presentational wrappers and unsupported structure may not retain the grouping that was visible in the original page.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
HTML-to-Markdown conversion is a narrowing of formats. Compare important headings, list order, code, image references, and links against the source. Rebuild any table, nested list, styling, or layout that the output does not represent adequately.
The output can contain URLs from the pasted markup. Review those destinations before sharing the Markdown. The converter does not validate links, retrieve image files, or guarantee compatibility with every Markdown processor.
